"Daddy.... Why does mommy need you to being more boom boom in the bed room?"

Yeah, there are a few services around that can handle it and deliver refill service for me in Dallas. But I also need to acquire the tanks themselves. My little metalcasting hobby can run through a lot of gas when I really get into things.

I mentioned up earlier the testing I originally did with the "big umbrella" approach. It notably reduced the temp of air coming out on the inside. From an engineering standpoint it would probably be explained by reducing the ambient outdoor coil temp means the compressor gets more compression...

That reminds me..... I need to acquire me a couple of those nicer sized ProPain tanks myself. One for generator standby, and one for my metal casting area for furnace. And yeah, there's a ton of conflicting opinion. So I just decided it wasn't THAT complicated and ran my own testing. In my...

I just need to get this person to come start posting here so I can stop being the middle of a poster centipede of WTF videos...

I think the real take away of this chart is... This bull market is behaving in line with other bull markets. As you mentioned the unknown variable is how long this bull will run, and I would like to subscribe to the newsletter of whoever can predict that and prove out why. This is actually an...

Looking at the crazy second weekend numbers (Behind only Force Awakens and Endgame for second weekends) and how it's already at $1.67 Billion worldwide I wonder if Marvel is actually considering that it might outgross Doomsday?

I'm waiting to see how it handles fall winds. If there's a weak point it's probably that the frame of PVC connectors is just pushed together, held by pressure. If that comes apart, I have some purple PVC cement to throw at that problem. I know the big generic patio umbrella solution was...

I promptly move my bitcoin to a proper self-custody wallet.... Seed phrase stored securely on a 3d printed plate (although I'm going to cast it in aluminum soon). I'm sure that even though BTC is slow to evolve , and lightning is very limited, at some point proper options will exist for...

Sure, everybody loves the great deals on crap made in China, but how many really know why we celebrate?

So I have reached a kinda sad conclusion today.... I went into Alts (i.e. things other than BTC) because younger, more optimistic, more naive Haus believed that we were going to really see the emergence of a new digital financial system free of the traditional banks and governments. I not...

OK. Tiny home project for the weekend time. I realized a few years back that there is some honest truth in "If you keep the outside portion of your central AC cooler, it's more efficient cooling the house". For the past few years I've accomplished this by jerry rigging a large shade umbrella...

No, it's not. But I'd like to get it done soon, and right now "soon" in Texas would mean doing this on days where the high temp is hitting 105. I thought about firing up the old system and just troubleshooting it too...

Wow... so I got my "Shit costs more now.. YO!" moment today. There's a long dormant/dead sprinkler system under my lawn at Chez Haus. It hasn't been turned on and run in over 15 years. (had some issues, and rather than fix those I decided to just start using one of those tractor sprinklers...

My question would be to what degree would be benefit from it's NVMe bus being on the card instead of across a PCIE interface, and how fast that can actually roll. Versus rolling an MoE model where it only loads a subset of parameters as needed and offloads the rest elsewhere (other video cards...
